Produktbeschreibung
Slow Walk Home, by Suzanne Nussey is a poignant collection of poetry that masterfully interlaces the threads of the sacred with the fabric of the mundane, creating a rich tapestry of reflective thought and universal appeal. Nussey's poems transcend mere reminiscence, elevating everyday familial and personal memories to engage with themes of God, Time, and the unseen, transforming small, intimate moments into profound reflections on eternity. The collection is lauded for its seamless transition from the domestic to the divine, embodying a modern yet timeless poetic voice that echoes ancient contemplative traditions. Nussey's skill in this weaving is particularly notable for its lack of pretension. It relies on natural insights rather than complex academic constructs, making it accessible to all readers. Critics praise Nussey for her use of unique and unexpected metaphors and a tone that confronts the raw realities of life-death, illness, and loss, alongside motherhood, love, faith, and redemption. Through her poems, Nussey invites us into a private world. One that is deeply personal yet universally relatable, illuminated by her clear and evocative language. The book also reflects on the social and historical contexts that shape personal and collective memory, examining the promises and limitations of mid-century societal norms against today's more enlightened perspectives. The juxtaposition of past and present enriches the collection, providing a window into the evolving dynamics of society and personal identity. Described as a spiritual autobiography, Slow Walk Home is brave and contemplative. It utilizes poetry to explore and question the spiritual certitudes of its narrator. The collection offers readers a space for meditation and reflection, encouraging a deeper engagement with the text as a form of prayer and discovery. &a
